I've been spending more time in my craft room - getting things organized and making cards.  I did create my logo and put it on the pegboard attached to my desk.  That was fun.

Most of my cards I send to Cards for Soldiers - a great organization you can find on Facebook.  The cards are sent to deployed military so they can write home.  Check them out and consider donating some cards.

I'm also going to send a bunch to Scrapbook.com for their Cards for Kindness campaign.  I enjoy making the cards but I don't send out enough myself.  I made a bunch of cards to send to family during the quarantine but haven't gotten even half mailed ... and thankfully the stay-at-home order has been lifted here in Ohio.

Create something beautiful every day ... even if it is a kind word.  Susan

 This card uses products from the May 2020 Stamps of Life kit.  This is a new club I joined.  Each month I get a box filled with papers, cardstock, ribbon, dies, stamps, bling ... all wonderful goodies.

 These flowers are from a digital cut file I bought from The Ton Stamps.  They are so pretty and cut nicely.

I joined the Stamps of Life club in April but they were out of kits for that month so I chose an older kit still in stock.  I've got a start on my Christmas cards.

Stamps of Life has a die for this cover frame but I have a Brother Scan and Cut so I created my own cover frame.  I'm on the Clubhouse Committee for our condo community and I'm sending out birthday and anniversary cards to our neighbors.

The roses on this card are from a new set from Elizabeth Craft Designs - Moda Victorian Roses.  They were so easy to layer and are so sweet.  Smaller than I expected but they make a nice cluster.  I realized that I need to get some dusty pink inks.  Hopefully Altenew will have a sale soon - I'm collecting their ink spots and weeding out other brands.  I really like Altenew inks over some other companies.

This is the pegboard I just installed on my work table.  My son made the table as a kitchen table but he and his wife decided it wasn't the style they wanted (it was his first major woodworking project).  He cut it down to a square for me and we put it on wheels since I share my craft room with a guest bed and need to move it out of the middle of the room when company stays.  You can see my logo in vinyl on the pegboard.  I got the "create" on there crooked but it turned out okay.
